Now that both Apple and Google require Amazon to kick back 30% of Kindle sales from apps running on those devices, they have much more incentive to move readers onto non-iPad/Android devices.

In the first study, they draw blood to determine the glucose level, then jab insulin. Okay. In the second design, they want to use a single needle, so instead of drawing blood they will sample the interstitial fluid. That's what continuous glucose monitors do today; the probe stays inserted for up to ten days. On the first day it needs constant calibration (using blood draws) until it finally settles down to a good reading. There's no way that a single jab into the interstitial fluid can produce a reliable glucose level reading. And, of course, you can't use a single needle to draw actual blood and inject insulin because putting the insulin directly into the vein is really bad.

The report that the vaccine has been tested on omicron has been corrected.

This carrier is in Australia. US liability laws don't apply.

That's not my imagination.

There's nothing special about BitTorrent in this regard. If you use any protocol based on TCP/IP, such as HTTP, then you get the same checksum calculations. Packets with bad checksums are discarded and retransmitted. When done, you have a bit-perfect file.

They walked this back in a hurry. In their blog post, all the text about the new subscription requirement is now in strikeout text.

A classic tale along these lines: they site had the infrastructure you describe. The generator kicked in, ran for a while, then sputtered to a halt. Turned out that the pumps that move the diesel from storage tanks into the generator were powered by the grid.

The RAM is soldered in so I can't expand it, for no good reason that I can think of.

Because a RAM DIMM socket is a common point of failure. I once saw an old Macbook Pro with such a socket dropped onto a concrete floor. Afterward, it would not boot. It turned out that the RAM DIMM was slightly dislodged from its socket.

DIMM sockets are acceptable for desktop machines that don't move and are not subject to shocks. Laptops require more robustness.

Sure you can. YouTube Red costs $3 more on iOS.

"Warp drive" has always referred to superliminal, not subliminal travel. Kids these days.

When bringing up a new laptop, skip the part where it asks for a Wifi connection. Set up a local account, then set up Wifi.

No, inkjet printers were invented at around the same time. Before 1971, we printed on "line printers" that used chains of cold metal type to stamp ink onto paper, which was often green-and-white fanfold paper with tractor holes on the left and right edges. The big ones could print multiple lines per second. You got only one type font, the one in the chain. As a computer operator back then, I had to clear printer jams regularly.

In the US, the federal WARN act mandates 60 days notice of a layoff of 100 or more employees, with a few more conditions. This has been in effect since 1989.
